EOS and Debitura both help businesses collect unpaid invoices from debtors abroad. Here is how they compare on model, fees, coverage and tools, using each company's own website.
Six things buyers compare first. "Same" means the model is alike, not identical; check the full table for detail.
Fifteen points in five groups. Text first, with a mark where a plain answer helps. Numbers in brackets link to the source.
One example, worked through with each company's published numbers. Legal action is extra with both and is quoted separately.
Debitura's fee depends on claim size and the debtor's country: from 6% in Europe on amounts of $150,000 and above, and from 7.5% elsewhere. Claims over 12 months cost more, and the uplift is shown before you submit. See every fee band.
